Merkaba Paperweight

The merkaba is a star tetrahedron formed by two interlocking triangular pyramids, one pointing upward and one downward. It appears across ancient Egyptian, Jewish, and Hindu traditions as a symbol representing the union of opposing forces, often described as matter and spirit in balance.

The paperweight is constructed from solid metal with a hand-polished finish. The specific alloy gives the object its notable weight and reflective surface, which shifts subtly depending on the angle of light.

Its compact scale and symbolic depth make it a thoughtful object for architects, designers, or anyone drawn to the intersection of geometry and craft. It functions equally well as a desk object or a standalone decorative piece.

VAU is a design brand focused on objects that carry conceptual weight alongside physical presence. Their work often draws from geometry, symbolism, and precise craft, producing pieces that sit at the boundary between functional object and sculptural form.
